Abstract
Provided is a method, for generating a tree view of elements in a graphical user interface (GUI). Hierarchical information is processed including information on elements at different hierarchical levels. A tree view is generated in response to processing the hierarchical information enabled to be displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI) including graphical indicators representing elements at different hierarchical levels. In the tree view for at least one hierarchical level, graphical indicators for a subset of the elements at the hierarchical level and a graphical paging control enabling user selection of one of a plurality subset of elements at the hierarchical level are generated. In the tree view, graphical indicators representing elements in a selected subset of elements at one hierarchical level are generated in response to selection of the selected subset through the graphical paging control.
